VK 72.01K - nerfed lower plate from 230mm to 180mm. What does it is mean? Huge weak spot, like straight hull - 170-203 eff, angled - around 230 eff. Even less than e100 (260-280), They removed side weak spot, but gave enormous weak front lower plate.

- Front armor mid strip is weak, especially considering it's supposed to have good frontal armor. LFP is weak too for a frontal armored tank (but not too crazy bad, that LFP is actually the least of the issues here tbh)

- The turret base ring armor is an uniform 300 armor, including the rear (yes, rear is stronger then front, something's iffy here!)

- It has strips of 0 armor on the turret which behave weird: AP goes through fine, but HEAT doesn't. The PzKpf VII does not have these strips. I suspect they tested some new armor mechanic that stops HEAT shells.

- The kicker: It has actual HOLES for armor (yes we joke that the IS tanks got black holes for side armor, this tank tho? has it for real now!) Check the open space triangles & you'll notice that despite it having 120mm armor there, you cannot penetrate it with any gun for damage: JPE-100 420 HEAT vs the 120mm Black Hole armor: *no damage*. That's some crazy Germanium armor there... Stalinium is kiddies play compared to that...

So yes, someone bugged the armor schedule for this tank at WG, because I'm darn sure it's not supposed to be like that...

It's spaced armour with no hull armour behind it, clearly a mistake along with the 0 armour strips where the dreadlocks are round the turret.

kittens (tanks.gg guy) has said himself that the models are bugged. He can't read the new format introduced with 1.0 (and WG doesn't seem interested in helping) so these are all old models with the section values of the new patch, so if something changes the models glitch out. Thats also why theres no italian models.

Makes sense.

If WG are deliberately trying to hide stuff again though it will backfire on them again because people take sites like tanks.gg to be gospel.
